The period of a pendulum is the time it takes for the pendulum to make one complete swing (going both left and right) and return to its starting point. The period P varies directly with the square root of the length l of the pendulum.

(a) Write the variation equation that describes this situation, using k for the constant of variation.


(b) What happens to the period if the length of the pendulum is quadrupled?
